Abstract

The basic theory of the quasi-birth-and-death process is extended to a process which is inhomogeous in levels. Several key results in the standard homogeneous theory hold in a more general context than that usually stated, in particular not requiring positive recurrence. Theser results are subsumed under our development. The treatment is entirely probabilistic.
